From Page to Stage 2014 – Landor

Following the success of this year’s inaugural season of new musical theatre, Katy Lipson of Aria Entertainment and Robert McWhir of the Landor Theatre have announced that applications are now open for the second From Page To Stageseason from 11th February-8th March 2014 at the Landor in south London.

From Page To Stageis a season of new musical theatre dedicated to the showcasing of work in development to an audience, to garner feedback and create new opportunities for the artists involved. The 2014 season will present a mixed programme of work at different stages of development, performed by a repertory company.

Expanding on the format of the 2013 season, From Page To Stage 2014 will present:

A new British musical – to headline the season and run for one week in a fully staged production;

A new American musical – to run for three performances;

A concert musical – a piece specifically intended to be performed in concert format;

A classical crossover/opera piece – to showcase the musical variety within the genre;

A single performance of some new musical theatre material commissioned especially for the season will also be included.

Lipson said:“Both Aria Entertainment and the Landor Theatre are thrilled to repeat this year’s extraordinarily well received From Page to Stage season, but with a difference! Next year’s festival will have a dedicated repertory company of performers, three directors and three musical directors, working across a whole variety of projects over a four-week period. Our aim is to provide an environment in which writers can develop, benefiting from having their work staged for a live audience, and the support and feedback this will encourage. February/ March 2014 at the Landor will be a destination for new musical theatre.”

Applications for all spaces within the festival are open from now until 30th September 2013.
